RICHARDSON, TX — A man says that after he drove himself to a hospital for a surgery, social workers detained him against his will and he was then put into a psychiatric ward, and ultimately a nursing home. In a wild exhibition of state power, the man has been a prisoner without due process and no way to free himself.
On February 21st, Charlie Fink, of Arlington, Texas, drove himself to Methodist Richardson Medical Center for a scheduled hernia surgery. Fink, 85, was scheduled to leave three days later. But to his dismay, he was locked in a room against his will and told he may not leave.
"They put me in a mental institution Monday night," Mr. Fink told MyFoxDFW.
Fink's friend and neighbor, Kenny McIntosh, received a distressed call from the hospital. "He called me and said, 'I haven't left yet; Adult Protective Services lady came in here and told me I wasn't never coming home,'" said McIntosh.
"I tried to get out of Methodist and they locked the door," said Fink. "They wouldn't even let me out."
